USBAND GOES HIS WAY, /IFE WANTS TO LEAVE "For 15 years I've lived with a husband who is actually mar- ried to his business and his sports, and don't you dare smile for it is NOT fifmny. Sundays and holidays he is off with his gun or his rod, while I stay home to get hot meal ready when he comes in. . , . There just can't be another man as thoughtless! Never has he taken me out anywhere unless I've begged him, which spoils it all; usually he says he's too tired or must go back to work that night. He has never bought me a gift, nor even a box of can- dy or a flower; yet I know that in his own way he loves me dearly. "I grew so depressed that a year ago we adopted a little girl of six, and my husband is crazy about her. But now I am con- fined more then ever, and haven't had a single evening out' for any fun. I'm really afraid I'm going to crack up if something doesn't happen to break this montony. (I have practically forgotten how to laugh.) "Everybody likes my husband and calls him a good man, and he is; he provides well for us, he doesn't drink and I'm surely grateful for that. But for nine years I worked hard so he could buy his own business, and now we have a lovely home and a good income. That isn't enough, Anne Hirst. I want to LIVE! "I have even considered leav- ing wth the baby and starting all over again. I am in my 30's, and I don't want to stay buried the rest of my life." * After years of reading let- ters from discontented wives, I long ago concluded that more women suffer from neg- lect than from actual cruelty, and too many break under the monotony of théir lonely rou- tine. To drag through years of repititious days with nothing to look forward to strangles the spirit and saps one's energies. Housewives need relaxation with their husbands, - good times with their friends, and wholesome activities in the world outside. TO "GERTRUDE": No wists sunk, don't think of leaving. No matter what arrangements you might make, you would be depriving your little girl of advantages she will need increasingly as she grows up. She needs both parents, too, and your husband will find her even more interesting as FF * 2 3» 2 8» Half-Yard Aprons by 55 ne Whadl Each of these party-thrifty aprons takes only So thrifty! one-half yard!

You both want to provide her with the nor- mal home life she deserves, and enjoys together the exciting years that are to come. Tell your husband how near the breaking point you are, how much you need recreation regularly, doing the things you both enjoyed before you were married. A more active social life will benefit his business, too, and be useful to the child's development later. Now you can well afford a baby-sitter, so plan that, And remind your husband -that while financial success is im- portant, no man can be proud of a wife who is growing old before her time. It is a dis- tinct reflection on him. Your husband has been thoughtless in forming the habit of spending all his lei- sure away from home, and when you explain why you, too, must have fun I think he will understand. In the remote possibility that you fail in your plea, why not send out an SOS signal to your women friends and spend the day with them, getting home in time to prepare his supper?

Every last one of them tries to make love to me! We always end up on a lonely road or in the park and the arguments be- in. "Other girls I've talked to don't have this experience, and I am really worried. I certainly do not lead boys on, and I don't think I am too emotional. Have you the solution?

But perhaps her response is warm- er than she means it to be. Lots of boys write me that they try a girl out on the first date because SHE seems to expect it. If you are not guilty of ~ these reactions, console girls naturally - pulsate 'with physical attraction, while others leave the lad's temper- ature as it was. We are as we are. Be even more restrained than you have been, and at the first danger signal say that you do NOT go in for that sort of thing.

Four banquet rooms have been named after early Canadian ex- plorers; Louis Joliett, Jacques Lesperance Marquette, Daniel Du Luth and Sir Alexander Mac- kenzie. The hotel's grill room will be known as the "Beaver Club", re- calling an exclusive rendez-vous of fur traders originally located at the top of Beaver Hall Hill. The original club, founded in 1775, was composed of partners in the North" West Company who had spent at least one winter in the north west. It was disband- ed in 1824 when the North West Company amalgamated with the Hudson's Bay Company. Other names to be used in the new hotel are: "Les Voyageurs", the main cocktail lounge; 'Le Panorama", overlooking the city from the 21st floor; "Le Rendez- vous"; "Le Bistro"; and "Salle Bonaventure", The hotel's 11 private dining rooms and salons have been named after Quebec rivers; St, Lawrence, Saguenay, St, Maur- ice, Richelieu, Chaudiere, Gatin- eau, Bersimis, Matapedia, St Charles, Harricana and Peribon- ca, FARA Wie thee yourself with the truth: some ° i FES omg EE a aaa | !

Last Sunday we had three lots 'of visitors, one after. another, and of course we were glad to see them all, especially. as I had enough cake and cookies to go around. Not that I would have worried too much if I hadn't, we can always get by on tea and toast. Later in the week I took on a job of baby-sitting for daughter. She is convener of the Girl Guides in her district who are taking "part in the huge pageant .to be presented at the Maple Leaf Gardens. I went. in on the day of the rehearsal. I imagine it was quite an affair with nearly 3,000 Guides and Brownies take ing ' part. Daughter's telephone was ringing continually from the time I got to the house to the time when she left for the re- hearsal. Good thing it isn't a party line! After she had gone I took the boys to High Park Playground-- David on foot and Eddie in his push-cart. The entrance to the Park is only a ten-minute walk. The playground was full of pre- school-age youngsters with mo- ther or father in charge. And what a time they were having. Swings, slides, sand-pile and a hand-propelled merry-go-round. The playground must be a won- derful energy-outlet for the many children who may not have so much as a backyard to play in at home. One mother said the days her children came to the park they slept so much better at night. As I watched the youngsters at play I couldn't help thinking how lucky coun- try children are who have a GOES DRY -- Esther Williams has dried off to disprove the notion she's only a star in a swimming pool. She's with Jeff Chandler In her next film, "Raw Wind In Eden," in which she plays a high-living fashion model, She does get to swim twice in the film. big farm garden to run around in -- and probably dogs, cats and kittens to play with. To my way of thinking the farm is still the best place to bring up a family. The parents may not be over- supplied with money .or 'the home too convenient father, mother and chjldren lead a normal family life -- they eat, work and play together. And that is more than can be said for families where father is . away to the office, plant or fac- tory before the children are up in the morning. When he re- turns 'at night he is tired, and sometimes irritable, and so are the children. It doesn't make for a happy family relationship. Such conditions apply not only to urban homes but also to those in the country from whence father. commutes back and forth to Malton, Hamilton or Toronto -- or wherever his job happens to be. Conditions: are even worse when father is on night shift. Seems to me family living in so many cases requires a lot of ad- justment these days. And when you pull up stakes and settle down in a new dis- trict that takes some adjustment too -- especially when there is an election in the offing! Last week we went down to our old riding to make sure our names were on the voter's list. They weren't] Partner just about saw red for awhile. You see we haven't been in our new home long enough to be eligible for a vote here and because we were not at the farm the day the enumerators called -- if they did call -- our names were left off the list. Now after 35 years residence in one place we shall have to be sworn in before we can vote. And we are not the only ones either. We hear a lot 'about padded voter's" lists, what about the ones where eligible voters are not listed. Surely one way is as bad as another, Another of our adjustment worries has been mail delivery. On our old mail route there were two other Clarke's and of course we often got each other's mail. Now, in our new location we find ourselves bracketed with yet another Clarke. Not only that but we get mail forwarded to us that belongs to the old route. - Very confusing, isn't it? Before we moved we did our best to notify all those from whom we were likely to receive business or personal mail, but there is al- ways the odd, unexpected letter, As for advertising literature . . That's where we give up! The same applies to the tele~ phone, I put our phone number on most of my correspondence now but it doesn't do much good, The very day I went baby- sitting friends from a distance came to call -- meant to phone but they had lost the number, I didn't get home until next day so I missed them entirely. But we get plenty of phone calls other than our own. In fact it is hard to know "for whom the bell 'rings'. To close here is a little nature story. Partner was-cutting brush ut at least. along the line fence. There he found a flat stone with a carved inscription. The inscription read "Hear lies a Warbler." How long had the little "tombstone been there I wonder? Who owned the warbler -- was it captive or wounded? We shall never learn the answer but I got Partner to leave the stone anyway. That much we can do for, the little song-bird -- silent now -- and whose story we shall never know Clowns Remember The Children "willie" and I have traveled a long, long way together since that day when he was born on my. drawing board in Kansas City. A whole lot of it has been done on foot -- tramping thou- sands of miles around the' oval of the circus hippodrome, over . and over again, nine to fifteen times each show, twice a day rain or shine for the eight months of the tour plus more of the same at the winter indoor circus dates. The laughter of children is a sound no circus clown ever can forget. It sticks in his mind and "he can still hear the echo warm- ing his heart when he has put aside the makeup and the motley and quit trouping. Once, during World War II, a radio program was being pre- pared to send to service people overseas and it was to contain the familiar, well-remembered sounds of home--the excitement of the football stadium, the base- ball park, the theatre, the voices of church choirs and the like. The circus was asked to contri- bute something, and so our pub- licity department came up with the idea that we would record a few minutes of a morning mat- inee in Madison- Square Garden when the whole place was packed with orphans. There were nearly fourteen thousand of these kids there as the guests of the circus and the Gaypden managements, and the portion of the performance that we record- ed was the display of sea-lion acts, This is always a big wal- lop for the youngsters because the sea lions do unbelievable tricks to show off their balancing skill and they flap their "hands" together after each difficult trick to start the crowd applaud- ing. . . . The kids went wild, I heard the play-back before the recording was worked into the overseas broadcast and it was as exciting and thrilling as ever to listen to. ... There are a few things 1 still look forward to: the chance to keep working at what I like best, and then, when it's all over, to see my mother drying her hands on her apron as she did when she looked at the wood pile -- and to hear her say one more, "Well, you have been a fine boy and you have done a good job." But now back to work for "Willie" and me. It's less than one minute to fanfare. The crowd is settling in the big top, Merle Evans and his men are on the bandstand and the equestrian director has his silver whistle in his hand. There's a five-second period when the whole show seems to hold its breath. Now! The shrill blast of the whistle, the cornets and the cymbals pe we're rolling.

Canada's perennial enemy of vacationers and picknickers will % cause another "big itch" this summer, says Harold Hilliard in a recent issue of The Star Week- ly. Mr. Hilliard siskies an interest- ing article on poison ivy -- the plant that makes things miser= "able for thousands of holiday- makers all over Canada. - There are many old wives tales about the plant but authorl- ties are quick to debunk them as useless -- if not actually dangerous. In faet, there is only one way to escape this annual agdny, says -Hilliard -- by completely avoiding the insiduous plants, Although there is variation In the degree of severity suffered by infected persons, it is general-_ ly agreed that no one is immune and it is a case of prevention ~ being .the only sure cure. Poison ivy is found in every part of Canada with the possible exception of Saskatchewan and Alberta. But the wise vacationer will assume that it grows in these provinces too, and will learn what it looks like. Hilliard's Star Weekly article gives an accurate description of the poisonous plant and is il- lustrated so that the slickest of "city slickers" will recognize the ivy when he ventures forth on his annual expeditions into the countryside.
